You are precious in God's sight!

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:11-12)

How many times were you rejected, mocked, discouraged or even condemned by the people around you motivated by crooked principles? If I were to ask by far, at least fingers and toes on my hands and feet are not enough to mention such as much as I can remember. One morning, as I was heading to my workplace, one fella tried to mock me by saying “What kind of people are you? You always look so serious who is likely to be depressed most of the time!” At that instance, I began to renounce those words against me. And said to that fella, “No! You don’t know much about me. If you only knew me, then you would mock me no more.” I know at that time there was a battle rages in the air between good and evil. (Ephesians 6:10-12). On the evil side, the echoes of discouragement, hatred, harsh reprisal and self-pity tried to take a ground. On the good side, I've heard the voice saying to me, “Hansel, forgive that fella. You are precious in God’s sight. You were created into the likeness of God. You are My child. What the devil is throwing on you are all lies. I created you for My pleasure. You are My treasure. And I held on to that voice” After a while, unspeakable comfort from the embrace of the loving Father rescued me at that moment. The enemy’s attempt was put to nothing and shame because the Lover of my soul has won the battle. Peace and understanding brought me to the place of haven. To the Immovable Rock that’s higher than I, my Loving Savior - JESUS CHRIST!
